Peer Grief Support

What is a Certified Grief Educator???

"A Certified Grief Educator is committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief. 

Certified Grief Educators completed a certificate program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. They bring his unique methodology, tools, and decades of experience to help people navigate the challenges of grief."

 

IN SEPTEMBER 2021 I COMPLETED A TRAINING WITH DAVID KESSLER, GRIEF EXPERT. 

​

BECAUSE I AM NOT A LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. MY SUPPORT IS THAT OF A PEER GRIEVER.

​

I SEE MYSELF AS A FELLOW GRIEVER WHO HAS SOUGHT OUT AND FOUND MANY RESOURCES THAT MAY BE OF SERVICE TO OTHERS WHO ARE GRIEVING AND SEEKING FOR THEMSELVES. 

​

I AM AVAILABLE TO LISTEN, PROVIDE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES. 

​

AS OF SEPTEMBER, 2023, I HAVE BEGUN A FIVE MONTH INTENSIVE CLASS ON GRIEF RITUAL WITH FRANCIS WELLER, PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND AUTHOR OF 'THE WILD EDGE OF SORROW' ON GRIEF RITUAL AND WILL BE LEADING GRIEF RITUALS THAT ENCOMPASS THE MANY WAYS IN WHICH GRIEF IS PRESENT IN OUR LIVES. 

​

I INVITE YOU TO REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU FEEL CALLED TO DO SO. I WILL SERVE IN WHATEVER WAYS I AM ABLE. 

​

GRIEF IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE FIXED...MY GOAL IS TO BE OF  SERVICE TO OTHERS. I TOO AM TRAVELING THIS PATH FILLED WITH LANDMINES AND PITFALLS. WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER STAND UP WHEN WE FALL AND KNOW THAT WE ARE IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHERS WHO KNOW THE DEPTHS OF LOVE AND LOSS.
